A special thanks to
Massachusetts Vest-A-Dog who awarded us $5,000.00 to
start Holliston's new K9 program. We couldn't have done it
without them!

The
mission of the K9 Unit is to locate people and/or things at or
near crime scenes and provide protection to the community and
officers. Generally, a K9 team will be applied as a
sophisticated tool to enhance the capabilities of Patrol at a
crime scene.

The unit strives to be diverse
in its' applications to maximize the abilities of the canines in
the investigation of crimes with the safety of the community
itsí top priority.

The K9 Unit provides support
for the HPD Patrol division and detective division for patrol
investigations, suspect apprehension, tactical operations,
evidence searches, as well as assisting in searching for missing
persons.
